Hello Wolfang,

I do not have answers on the specific problem.

I guess you used gb.gui in Linux with GTK.

I use Ubuntu 14:04 and I have studied the problem in my own way GTK vs QT.

You can remedy with a few small tricks, some steps in these simple sample applications.

I recommend to include some tricks and change your gb.gui to gb.gtk.

GTK_Graphics has been tested on Linux with KDE and it works well.

Ciao gianluigi

Hello,

To display a html-file I would need the webbrowser from qb.qt4.webkit.
That would be no problem BUT:

My program grew of many month and is based on qb.gui (As it was a
default when I started it)

If I drop gb.gui to use gb.qt4.webkit (and gb.qt4)I get different
looking forms and  my program does no longer work.

Is there a way to display html files WITH gb.gui (in absence of qt4)?

Wolfgang

Sorry,I don't have an answer for you, merely a comment.

Without going into specifics, your comment "If I drop gb.gui to use gb.qt4.webkit 
(and gb.qt4)I get different looking forms and  my program does no longer work." 
rings like a similar bell here too.  We are currently changing all our gb.gui projects to 
gb.qt4 in order to alleviate user complaints about the gtk situation across various 
distros. So:

Has gui independence now become economically un-viable?

Any comments, especially from Benoit.

At gambas-buch.de, one of the first concrete decisions was to solely use
gb.qt4. gb.gtk never really worked for me (I was with Gambas 2 on Ubuntu
8.04/9.04 with a Gnome desktop where it was buggy and after that on Arch
Linux with Trinity where Qt is just more canonical to use) and soon Hans
noticed unpleasant discrepancies with what I told his program does over
here (gb.gui/gb.qt4) and he had developed over there (gb.gui/gb.gtk).

Imagine people reading the book, trying the programs and noticing that
things actually don't quite work as described. (Talking about the problems
we had *back then*:) the programs usually did what they should but sometimes
there were issues like misplaced controls, wrong colours, methods not doing
something... That's just the mixture of working and non-working that would
make readers think: "oh, that's a weird book. Maybe I come back in two years
to see if it is any better".

Sadly, we failed to report this stuff back then... I was also quite new
around here at this time.

Don't know how much my comment's worth but you're not the only one to have
that thought.

Regards,
Tobi

Thank you B.Bruen and Tobi,

...so it may be a wise decision to throw gb.gui over board and stay with
qt4...

That is what I have feared, but this way I have enough work for the
summer ;-)

Anyway: you helped me out of this problem! Thank you!
